It’s the last day of January and though nobody told Mama Nature, springtime is supposedly on its way.

One of the biggest trends for this season is the printed dress. I really love this piece because it’s beautifully feminine and is actually quite versatile. Layer it over a thin knit or under a slim-fit cardigan until it warms up (because it will warm up, it WILL) and wear under a tuxedo jacket or blazer for evening time shenanigans.

There are lots of versions to choose from – floral, girly, tribal and oriental, monochrome and animal. And we’ve picked our favourites for you to try on in our virtual changing rooms.

I like all of the tribal/oriental ones, will be checking out RI!! and the leopard print ones. To be honest I am waiting for the day somebody designs a guna with a bell print, so I can literally say “I’ll be there with bells on”.

Oh I love the monochrome black and white one from Gallery at Dunnes. I want want want.
Littlesis, snap. I love leopard too. I have a few leopard and animal print dresses at home that will be coming out to play very soon. I paricularly love my RI silk leopard knee length dress with pockets. V. cute. Roll on Springtime.
